LURAY, Sept. 24 — Ryan Jenkins is making the most of his senior season. On the ground, he’s headed for a 1,000-plus yard season; through the air he may surpass 700; he’s on pace to score nearly 40 touchdowns; likely an all-state selection; and he also plays defensive end.
In the last three games, LHS senior quarterback Ryan Jenkins is averaging nearly 14 yards per carry, while amassing 515 yards on 37 carries and 12 rushing touchdowns. Jenkins has thrown for three more TDs, while going 8-for-20 through the air for another 233 yards. That’s a total of 15 touchdowns and a combined 748 yards of total offense in just three games (not counting the season-opening loss at East Rockingham).
Despite scoring eight touchdowns in just 23 plays on Friday night at homecoming against Rock Ridge, the Bulldogs know the schedule gets much tougher.
Up next, Luray (3-1) closes out non-district action at Perry Mccluer on Friday, Sept. 25, before taking a week off on Oct. 2 and then opening up Bull Run District action by hosting the defending Class 2 state champions from Strasburg on Friday, Oct. 16.
With Central struggling a little this year, the game against the Rams should be the toughest game remaining on the Bulldogs’ schedule before entering the VHSL Class 1 playoffs.
